DOS FAT Commands
 nss /(No)FATLongNames Enables long filenames on FAT volumes.
The default is ON.
 nss /(No)FATLazyWrites Performs lazy writes of FAT. If set to
ON, data that is written will be kept in memory for a specified period of
time before it is also written to FAT. This increases performance. The
default is ON.
 nss /FATLazyWriteDelay=value Sets the FAT lazy write delay (in
seconds). When (No)FATLazyWrites is set to ON, you specify how many
seconds you want data kept in memory before it is written to FAT. The
default is 60. The range is 5-180.
 nss /FATPartition=partition_type_number Supports up to three
additional partition types containing 16-bit FATs, such as /
FATPartition=12,13.
 nss /space Shows the amount of space on pools and their associated
volumes.
 NoClassicDirectoryQuotas Turns emulation of traditional
NetWare volumes on or off. The default is off.
Other Volumes That NSS Creates
There are three Loadable Storage Subsystems (LSS) modules: ZLSS.NSS,
CDHFS.NSS, CD9660.NSS, and DOSFAT.NSS. The ZLSS module provides
access to logical volumes created by the user. The CD9660 module allows
access to CD ROM drives as NSS volumes. The DOS FAT module allows
access to FAT 16 and FAT 12 drives.
CD-ROMs As Logical Volumes
When NSS recognizes a CD ROM, it creates a Read-only logical volume for
that CD ROM. This is done automatically when you load the CDROM.NLM.
However, this volume is not added to NDS.
The new CDROM.NLM loads the CD9660.NSS and CDHFS.NSS modules.
The CD9660.NSS module loads the ISO966, CDHFS, and Macintosh
Hierarchical File System (HFS) file formats. Dual formatted CDs are mounted
as two separate volumes. This means both Macintosh and Windows clients
will see the same CD ROM volumes with two different layouts.
